Bridging knowledge and application - Leading a new generation

We are advancing the world’s first Technical Vocational Education and Training (as quoted by GGGI) program dedicated to biochar. As part of the process toward approval by the nation’s educational authority, we conducted a pilot training from 2 to 6 March with 24 participants representing colleges, community members, and government officials. The pilot serves as a key validation step prior to formal approval and national rollout.

We are also continuing our Biochar Study Tours. Pioneering the first in the Philippines, the fourth tour was held in Palayan on 26 February with 68 participants from cooperatives, garnering communities, and both small and large farmers. The tour demonstrated biochar production, application, and field-level impact, with external users reporting reduced chemical and water inputs, higher yields, and improved crop quality.
